When an arranged marriage, an academic crisis, psychological trauma, and a leaked private-photo scandal erupt one after another, their relationship spirals from dangerously close to completely shattered. Vivian must finally face the consequences of the harm she caused, while Maya must take responsibility for the revenge that consumed her.
